Abstract The electrochemical behavior of 300M and a new kind of ultra high strength steel (Cr9 for short) in sulfate acidic environment, as well as the effects of pH and Cl- concentration on the corrosion behavior were studied by potentiodynamic polarization curve, EIS, and metallographic microscope. The results showed that with increasing pH value, the corrosion potentials Ecorr of 300M and Cr9 shifted towards the positive direction, the charge-transfer resistances Rct increased, and the corrosion current densities emcorr decreased. The (H2SO4+Na2SO4) solution with decreasing pH value suppressed the corrosion rates of 300M and Cr9. In the chloride-free sulfate acidic solution, general corrosion on the 300M surface occurred, while on Cr9 surface pitting occurred. The addition of chloride ions induced the pittings and transformed the passivity of Cr9 into an active dissolution state. Cr9 steel contains more contents of Cr, Mo and Ni, and the elements enhanced the corrosion resistance in acidic solution and made a much lower corrosion rate compared with 300M.
